It's always fascinated me when I read about Jesus and various Yogi's, adepts, shamans, mystics and such like talk and experience resurrection, renewal, rejuvenation, regeneration, healing's, miraculous events, synchronistic occurrences and such like.
Quotes from all bibles as follows in their own idiom; 'Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their their strength' meaning to me is that when I become still feel this inflow of something as it if were replenishing me physically and taking away the fever of anxious brain tightening thought. 'Be still and know I am God within thee' this I fee is when I relax, surrender willingly, not in desperation and again go past the the thinking intellect, that is outward world so to speak and seem to sink gradually down, like a leaf floating down and caught in the aromatic breeze of a benevolent current of something precious and a gift from the unknown and sometimes rise like a balloon in no particular direction and to climb lazily through the clouds into a place and space in consciousness which is like the kiss of heaven, so exquisite and luxurious that contentment and bliss seem a natural occurrence and accompanied by a resurgence of spirit and hope.
There are many such quotes as above, I have seen as renewal, regeneration, rejuvenation and there are those approaching this from the supplements, herbs, elixirs, physical mystic mudra's, they may prolong life and make one feel well and perhaps by continual practice and discipline it will lead to that feeling of connective-ness and well being that will mean that the exercises are not needed anymore and one has found the consciousness that is the epitome in fact beyond epitome and facsimile or having to imbibe from methods, mantra, yantra, affirmations, imagery, visualisations, hypnosis, auto suggestion, subliminal or binaural (with auto suggestions, plain binaural is OK to a point) and Guru darshan (certain Guru's are said to be able to impart spiritual grace to a devotee) so how do I feel about all this.
I do not claim to be enlightened or anything other to be a true human being being created out of parents and of course beyond parenting to be born or in a way spawned from the Stars and of course the creator of the Stars, that Intelligence far beyond the ken of the human mind but not the feeling. To me a true human is one who has caught the subtle scent in the quiet moments and feels this extraordinary grace and lives by it in one's life.
There is this feeling of oneness with this grace and it can be felt like a balm and soothing the fevered brow that can beset one in worldly affairs. It is like a tree that lives in an agreeable climate and near water and the leaves never shrivel and are always green and bear fruit and even when the season arrives to autumn and winter it returns invigorated in spring and fully risen in Summer.
When this stillness steals across my body and I relax and come away from the cacophony of the world and even gaze at nature and not of cars, scurrying people, noise and antagonism. I feel not human but as something else not male or female and have no definition or category nay not even a hint of compartmental-ism, I am who I am where I am and where I am has no location. I seem to go beyond the body and even Earthly realms, there is naught to see nor any notion or thought, tiredness, fatigue, restlessness seem to drain away and I feel renewed. I am so relaxed and yet not asleep, not day dreaming or in a trance or stupor and find I am somewhere in nowhere.
This is not just endorphins.
This is not just endorphins.
This is beneficial to my body and I feel new energy, a new life gradually saturates my physiology and it can easily be usurped by intrusive discordant thought. Certainly doing Qi Gong, meditation and awareness breathing sends out an invitation to the quiet mind to which is already the base and the foundation and is the eternal foundation as it were, the invitation is from the hunger and thirst of the weary soul to let go of the angst, angers, frustration that it perceives at an out of kilter materialistic world and its frustration at not be able to change it and also it's own inability to quell the uprising ego that still is attached to the very world the soul wishes to leave.
Interestingly enough it reminds me of water; water to me is the example of the spirit, the grace that I allude to. It flows gracefully gives refreshment, it is lovely to bathe and swim in and is powerful and can pervade into most spaces, it provides food and nourishment to all life it is said to hold memory and its touch can be soothing and of balm. Water baffles scientists and water baptises and is so many things, it is mysterious and yet so wonderfully tangible.
For me rejuvenation is the feeling of aliveness and sharp awareness when I am surrendered willingly and thirst for its renewal in my mind and seeping through the marshes of my flesh especially in older years. Regeneration is the effect and affect of the 'topping' up of my discharged battery. Renewal is the complete process in its achievement.
The ultimate would be in increments; to feel this grace, this divine gift at intervals, to realise this is my true nature, then to quell not by force but by glimpsed and experiences this is the true life for me and that the ego, which is my pre programmed, brain washed conditioned mind may be convinced that this is the goal of the life in my body and what I to came realise, self realisation whilst still residing in a temporary, transient impermanent beautiful flesh vehicle and ultimately to live out my remaining physical years in this grace state and be unshakeable in it, and then ultimately again on passing from this body to be one with grace will be what happens when one is eternal grace is a mystery to the human mind suffice to say grace is and grace does.
